It’s said to work on the whole body, mind and spirit. The way it works is a reiki practitioner “lays hands” as they call it, which really means they hover their hands about an inch above different parts of your body for a given period of time. And in doing this they help to move energy through your body, or even act as a channel and transfer energy from themselves to you.   In most spiritual beliefs, our energy is responsible for a lot in our lives, so this type of energy healing can alleviate pain, reduce symptoms of almost any disease, promote relaxation, decrease stress and anxiety. There’s a growing number of cancer patients that swear by it. Even hospitals like Johns Hopkins have started incorporating it and patients have reported faster recovery times.   So today we’ll be discussing is how to take the things we learn from reiki and apply it to our lives. Our guest is Nathalie Jaspar is a Reiki master with over a decade of experience. She's a graduate teacher from the International House of Reiki. She also trained in Zen meditation and Buddhism and she’s the author of Reiki as a Spiritual Practice: an Illustrated Guide and the Reiki Healing Handbook.   Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/x25See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  We will learn: How to change your mindset about something while still honoring your emotions How to reverse hardwired patterns of negative thinking Simple tools for creating a beneficial mindset that even a child can learn   Self growth isn’t just about finding the right tools… it’s about finding the right tools that work for you.   And those might change as you change.    Whenever I start to feel like I’m making things more complicated than they need to be, I get back to the basics.   “I am not my thoughts.” “My thoughts are habits.” “What I give energy to is what will grow.” “I always have the power to change my perspective.” A simple shift in perspective has the power to change my reality.   Simple but powerful truths. And we need to keep them simple because complicated doesn’t work when we’re overwhelmed.   So today we’re simplifying some of the most powerful mindset tools. Our guest is Barron Steffen. His story is so moving. He lost his wife unexpectedly and at the time he was already deep into a spiritual practice, so the way he handled the days after her death is just inspiring in itself.   He also teaches mindset tools to children. So he can tell you first hand how simplifying universal truths is so helpful in a time of crisis.   Sign up for Mind Love Premium here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
